"The internet used to be a nice place" -JB
It used to be, to have computing in your business, that you had to have a bunch of guys running around in white coats speaking a language you would never understand.

Billy and IBM brought us "easy to use". Kudos.

But it also put the responsibility in neophite hands.
It also put easy exploitation in the hands of kiddies.

As long as people want the EASY WAY OUT, not to mention "cheaper" computing solutions, we will all be saddled with these problems. It comes with the territory and provides many jobs.

Want to make money? Learn how to fix this stuff and join a security company. As long as Microsoft is at the helm of so many computers, you will have a job for life.

Onward and upward, thru the fog.....
